Aqueous phase liquid (APLs) leakage and spillage into the subsurface system, leading to groundwater contamination is an issue that needs to be addressed. This paper aims to investigate the APLs migration characteristics in fractured non-isothermal double-porosity soil. A laboratory experiment was conducted to observe and monitor the characteristics of the soil structure and APLs migration in heated deformable double-porosity soil using digital image processing technique. The results show rapid liquid migration for the fractured soil samples. The time taken for the liquid to migrate under the application of heat is less for sample with low moisture content due to faster dry off and rapid evaporation. It can be concluded that APLs migration under vibration and non-isothermal effect is highly influenced by the soil sample structure, the soil fractured pattern, the soil water content, and the applied heat in the soil.

This paper investigates the phenomenon of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) migration in double porosity soil. Investigation on the migration of LNAPL in double porosity soil was performed on aggregated kaolin using the digital image analysis. The photographic technique was used to capture the migration of LNAPL in aggregated soil samples. The captured digital images were fed through an image processing code to convert them to the hue-saturation-intensity (HSI) format which were subsequently used to plot the 2D LNAPL migration behaviour. The results of Experiment 1 and 2 show that the LNAPL moved downward faster when the moisture content increased. Another observation was that the kaolin granules started to disintegrate at a water  content of 35%. In conclusion, using image analysis technique has enabled the researchers to monitor and visualize the LNAPL migration in the double porosity soil columns based on HSI values. The contour plots of HSI intensity value has provide detailed and useful information for future research.

This paper proposes a novel microfluidic system for cell/microparticle recognition and manipulation utilizing digital image processing technique (DIP) and optical tweezer under microfluidic configuration. Digital image processing technique is used to count and recognize the cell/particle samples and then sends a control signal to generate a laser pulse to manipulate the target cell/particle optically. The optical tweezer system is capable of catching, moving and switching the target cells at the downstream of the microchannel. The trapping force of the optical tweezer is also demonstrated utilizing Stocks-drag method and electroosmotic flow. The proposed system provides a simple but high-performance solution for microparticle manipulation in a microfluidic device.
